When I called the Oakland FSS today for a preflight briefing and asked about TFRs in the area I received probably the best explanation so far of what the blanket National Security NOTAM meant in practice: “Just the usual one that’s been in place for a while, you know, don’t be makin’ pylon turns around the Golden Gate bridge…”
Short Final…
Key Takeaways:
- Oakland FSS provided a practical, easy-to-understand explanation of a standing "blanket National Security NOTAM" during a preflight briefing.
- The NOTAM's essence was conveyed as avoiding unusual or suspicious flight maneuvers, specifically exemplified by "pylon turns around the Golden Gate bridge."
